It’s not always the stars or highest-paid players who win games. For the best teams playing winning football in December, it’s that group combined with the players near the bottom of the roster who contribute in big and small ways to put their team over the top. For Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, that’s exactly what the roster is providing.
Speaking to reporters after the Steelers’ 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins, Rodgers made that point clear.
“If you look at our roster, which makes it really special, Kenny Gainwell signed a next-to-nothing contract,” Rodgers said Monday night via the team website.
